Activism Across America

Great news comes of a plan to put 14 wind turbines on a ridge in Wyoming to provide energy to the city of Cheyenne.

It’s a welcome change from the traditional dirty sources of electrical energy in Wyoming. Wyoming ships more coal outside its borders than any other state in the union - even West Virginia. Coal is never clean.

Environmentalists in Florida must be feeling a little bit used right now. A few weeks ago, they gave a Obama a great photo opportunity, with a speech about how important it is to preserve Florida’s coastlines by keeping the nationwide moratorium on expanded offshore drilling for oil.

Then, with that photo op over and done with, Barack Obama performed his trademark flip flop yesterday, and declared that he is now willing to support expanding offshore drilling in America’s coastal waters.

So, it’s become clear that Florida voters can’t count on Barack Obama to stand up for them against big oil corporations. Who can they count on, then? Try Environment Florida, who is running a campaign against offshore drilling.

Thanks to them for working for Florida when politicians refuse to do so.
